RedditC2 - Abusing Reddit API To Host The C2 Traffic, Since Most Of The Blue-Team Members Use Reddit, It Might Be A Great Way To Make The Traffic Look Legit


Abusing Reddit API to host the C2 traffic, since most of the blue-team members use Reddit, it might be a great way to make the traffic look legit.

Requirements

Install PRAW library in python3:

pip3 install praw

Quickstart

See the Quickstart guide on how to get going right away!

Demo

Workflow

Teamserver

  1. Go to the specific Reddit Post & post a new comment with the command ("in: ")
  2. Read for new comment which includes the word "out:"
  3. If no such comment is found, go back to step 2
  4. Parse the comment, decrypt it and read it's output
  5. Edit the existing comment to "executed", to avoid reexecuting it

Client

  1. Go to the specific Reddit Post & read the latest comment which includes "in:"
  2. If no new comment is detected, go back to step 1
  3. Parse the command out of the comment, decrypt it and execute it locally
  4. Encrypt the command's output and reply it to the respective comment ("out:" )

Below is a demonstration of the XOR-encrypted C2 traffic for understanding purposes:

Scanning results

Since it is a custom C2 Implant, it doesn't get detected by any AV as the bevahiour is completely legit.

TO-DO

  • Teamserver and agent compatible in Windows/Linux
  • Make the traffic encrypted
  • Add upload/download feature
  • Add persistence feature
  • Generate the agents dynamically (from the TeamServer)
  • Tab autocompletion
